Compact USB keyboard for space-saving setups
The Evoluent EKB is a wired compact keyboard that omits the numeric keypad so a mouse can sit closer to the alpha keys, reducing right-arm extension. It connects over USB and works on Windows XP to 7 with hotkeys, and on Mac, Linux and Unix without hotkeys, all without requiring a driver.
USB interface limits hotkey support outside Windows
The USB connection provides broad compatibility but the twelve one-touch hotkeys for Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Web, E-mail, Computer, Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up, Sleep and Turn Off function only on Windows; on other supported operating systems those keys do not activate their labelled actions.
Low-profile scissor keys
Precision scissor switches give crisp tactile feedback and the key tops sit just .4 inches above the desk on a fully flat base with no rear tilt, reducing wrist strain. Full-size arrow and F1-F12 keys keep familiar dimensions, while tactile bumps on selected keys help touch-typing accuracy without looking.
